REVELATIONS
"O God of Earth
and Altar,
Bow down and
hear our cry,
Our earthly
rulers falter,
Our people
drift and die,
The walls of
gold entomb us,
The swords
of scorn divide,
Take not thy
thunder from us,
But take away
our pride."
Just a babe
in the black abyss,
No reason for
a place like this,
The walls are
cold and souls cry out in pain,
An easy way
for the blind to go,
A clever path
for the fools who know
the Secret
of the Hanged Man-the smile on his lips.
The light of
the Blind-you'll see,
The venom that
tears my spine,
The Eyes of
the Nile are opening-you'll see.
She came to
me with a serpent's kiss,
As the Eye
of the Sun Rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches
silver tears I cry,
So we lay in
the black embrace,
And the Seed
is sown in a holy place
And I watched,
and I waited for the dawn.
The light of
the Blind-you'll see,
The venom that
tears my spine,
The Eyes of
the Nile are opening-you'll see.
Bind all of
us together,
Ablaze with
Hope and Free,
No storm or
heavy weather
Will rock the
boat you'll see.
The time has
come to close your eyes
And still the
wind and rain,
For the one
who will be King
Is the Watcher
in the Ring,
It is You.
